Clutch Slipping Solutions?

Have an Exedy Twin disc clutch about a year and noticed a little slipping for the first time today. In second gear around 3500 rpms at WOT, and 4th gear at WOT. Is it the beginning of the end or is there hope? Can they be repaired?

You can pull it and get new discs. Talk to MattGold (vendor on this site)

Good luck!

Well the install was about a third of the cost of the clutch.

I drove the car today and did a slip test in 5th gear. The first time I did it the clutch slipped briefly at ~3200 RPM and then caught up and held fine. I tried it 2 more times and it didn't slip again. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm thinking that maybe the discs are worn out and once they got some heat in them expanded just enough to hold.
